WHERE
DID THE LOVE GO?
(September
7, 2007 by Carl A. Patton)
Was
man created to hate to
return
evil throughout the land?
Was
man created to kill and abuse
other
men?
Then
John stood among the many
abnormal,
immoral and those that
had
come to even say they were
politically
correct.
What
was right with politics?
I
heard Langston Hughes say
the
writers and poets demise
can
be induced by the participation
in
political verse.
But
pray tell, what will cause the
alienation
of those that see God
in
verse? The tormentors carry a
great
burden. For justice sometimes
will
only come at the Last and Final Day.
But
there is so much in the wind.
There
are countless poems, also
in
fresh spring flowers and the rise
and
setting of the sun.
The
birds fly in marvelous
patterns
and the chipmunks
and
squirrels talk among the trees,
but
who listens?
Meanwhile
I saw love among the great
Creation.
If I could see and love
nature
could I also see and love
humankind?
Where
did the love go?
Did
it go with the embrace
of
evil and evildoers?
Can
you love self and others
If
you hate trees? Precious air
blew
through the trees.
This
same air I took inside me.
I
also embraced the Light at
day
and the dark at night.
In
these treasured moments I
felt
and saw love.
I
also knew who sent the wind,
the
air we breathe. The Sun
fell
on righteous ground.
Sweat
came upon my brow.
I
looked for a peaceful shade
tree.
I loved all I saw and the
unseen.
